L’Oreal Reveals Beauty Habits in the Face of Recession

Posted by Reporter on

L'Oreal 100In an ongoing effort to better understand women’s beauty routines, L’Oreal, in its 100th year, commissioned an international usage survey. The research featured some unexpected findings about how women’s makeup habits are adapting in response to the recession, including how women are using makeup to get ahead at work.

The Beauty Barometer survey asked 4,000 women in the U.S. and four European countries about their cosmetic products and usage. And findings revealed that while women have changed the shades they purchase to be more “natural,” they won’t be giving up their favorite products anytime soon. Survey highlights include:

  • Nearly half of U.S. women surveyed believe wearing makeup gives them an advantage at work and makes them feel more in control
  • Four out of 10 U.S. women are wearing more neutral shades and a more natural makeup style than before the recession
  • The majority of women surveyed believe wearing makeup makes them feel more self confident, and even more believe that wearing makeup improves their self image (82 percent and 86 percent respectively)

Proving that beauty is recession-proof, nine out of 10 women in the United States and Europe reported no change in makeup usage despite the economic crisis.

Women won’t compromise on their hair either - when it comes to saving money, most U.S. women surveyed (63 percent) have not cut their hair to make it less expensive to maintain.

L’Oreal has led the beauty industry for the past 100 years through a keen understanding of consumer attitudes and preferences. The brand’s goal has always been to make beauty accessible to all and to develop products that meet the cultural preferences and beauty needs of women and men around the globe.

Founded in 1909 with a single hair dye product, today L’Oreal operates in more than 130 countries, boasts more than 80,000 products from 23 leading beauty brands and creates more than 7,000 new formulations each year.

The Case Against Hair Conditioner

Posted by Reporter on

Why your Hair is Better off without it

889933-001

This means the "Daily Hair Conditioner"                                  The 10,000 HEADS daily hair care regimen is this:

  • Shampoo 3-4 times per week w/ Sulfate-Free Shampoo with 2 ways to follow:
  • #1) 60% of you will be able to go ‘without’ any thing at all after your shampoo. Your hair doesn’t tangle, you just have been conditioned to ‘think’ you need conditioner (ha ha ) just give it a 2 week try. OR
  • #2) If your hair tangles as much as mine does & step 1 scares you, a good lightweight Spray De-tangler is your answer,I found this a very long time ago, its amazing  http://killerstrands.myshopify.com/products/formulas-ecoly-tri-wheat-leave-in-conditioner-detangler - plain & simple it detangles, & it does not build-up on the hair, its the consistency of water.
  • #3) Deep condition 1-2 nights per week with Thriven
  • #4) Gleam - 1-2 squirts daily

and that’s it.

The 10,000 HEADS Hair Strengthen System is a strange regimen to new members of our system of hair care, but to look at our Sales the numbers have spoken.  SLS-Free Shampoo with NO conditioner, seems to be a hot idea this summer, and many are wondering even how this theory - came to be. I mean haven’t you been using the 1-2 step of Shampoo - - Conditioner for most of your life?  What gives with getting rid of trusty Step 2 they want to know — why should we?OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The answer I am pretty sure you will see, was another of my accidental "discoveries". . . which Killer Strands is full of. As soon as I made this discovery I never used a daily conditioner again & stopped using them on my clients which was instrumental in the birth of 10,000HEADS and its STEPS. 0005med561033

You need to understand Cosmetic Chemistry in order to make the Formula for a shampoo, the formula for a lip gloss, a perfume, a body lotion or cream and yes, also to make all hair products. Cosmetic Chemistry knowledge and experience is necessary to understand the rights and wrongs of making these products.  

hair036-1

I began my cosmetic chemistry experience focusing mainly on what I thought were 2 categories, Hair Conditioners and Body Lotions. Hair conditioners for work and body lotions for myself. I had never been able to find a decent Conditioner for my clients that I wasn’t continually having to clarify their hair from (I’m talking Pre-Thriven, Pre- 10,000HEADS, remember) and wanted a very moisturizing body cream/Lotion for my horrific painful dry skin, I just could not seem to find. 0009moom

Those were my initial 2 goals to seek - - - and conquer - - - 1 personal & 1 professional.

First you start learning some solid elementary examples that  workbooks give you. Purchase the ingredients & make a product that is already a proven success. Learning along the way… many little weird things about the formula and how exactly to make it…. was a Trip at first I was so afraid I was going to end up as the "MAD SCIENTIST" with bubbles and things blowing up right and left {didn’t happen} - things ended up just fine. To be honest, Cosmetic Chemistry is not near as difficult as I imagined. Looking at a formulation at the beginning was daunting - I was sure this was going to be impossible for me to learn. But it wasn’t and ended up being just the most fun and rewarding of any sport/hobby/job  I have ever taken up - I love it - I wish I had more time to be developing new and cool products. I remembered being terrified of Chemistry in High School & College….doing this, I LOVED IT. It was so satisfying to develop a product that worked so perfectly… I would continue to ‘make’ products that were wonderful AND "effective’ finally to use…you could compare it to buying a cake in the grocery store compared to making a home baked cake from scratch.  There simply is no comparison. That was, and remains, the difference in home made products versus manufactured products to me. a0178-000036

Now the interesting part of this experimenting that I’m hoping will show many of you "WHY" Hair conditioners are a horrible product to put on your hair, I did not realize it at first. It took a couple months, and only had to do with the manner in which I work and what my 1 — 2 interests, were.

I want to show you a Formula to make a Body Lotion, its one of the very first ones I made and tweaked to my liking. I have made well over 70 Hair Conditioners, and still am making them. I love it and it is "fun" for me now.

Now check out this formula for a good body lotion. Its not greasy, AT ALL, it lasts all day or night.

Body LOTION #13

Part A

  • Distilled Water ………………….81%
  • Glycerin …………………………. 1.5%
  • Hydrolyzed Soy Protein ………… 2.0%

Part B

  • BTMS……………. …..…………… 5.0%
  • Jojoba Oil …………….…………. 4.0%
  • Shea Butter ………………….….6.0%

Part C

  • Optiphen ………………………. .04%

Fragrance or Essential Oil (optional)

the DIRECTIONS are:

Directions: Heat Part A to 75C/170F . Carefully heat Part B until melted. Add Part A to B with mixing. Continue to mix until cool. At 50C/122F (or less), add Part C with mixing

The directions are pretty simple, the only hard part? . . . is the mixing part. It has to be mixed with a high power STICK BLENDER, for a couple hours and stopped and started at just the right temperature. But that isn’t difficult, just boring.

All these exact same procedures ( temperatures & mixing) go into making a Hair Conditioner

This is a bare bones formula for a body lotion, but what I discovered is, it’s wonderful - better than any Lotion I had ever used, and look how simple it is. I hope you see why I get so upset when there are 55 ingredients in a list when one of the big manufacturing companies make shampoos. 7/8 of them are totally unnecessary . They think they are making a better product - - this is a better product!

Here is the formula to a

Hair Conditioner:

Part A

  • Distilled Water …………………………83%
  • Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein ……………. 2.4%
  • Panthenol …………………………  …. 2.0%

Part B

  • BTMS………………………………..… 5.5%
  • Abyssinian Oil .……………………….. 2.0%
  • Rose Hips Seed Oil ……….…………… 2.0%
  • Shea Butter………………………………… 2.0%

Part C

  • Optiphen ………………………..……… 0.3%

The Directions are EXACTLY the same as the above directions.

>This is called is an Emulsion.                                                     > Both Body Lotions and Hair Conditioners are the exact same Class in the cosmetic chemistry industry.                                 >Both are emulsions.                                                                     >That is what I realized that really shook me up as I hope it will you as well.

  0001 jergens00001 lube

Would you take that bottle of Lubriderm body lotion, and pour it all over your hair right after your shampoo? Or that bottle of Nivea, Jergens, Aveeno, even Philosophy (a higher priced) lotion on your newly washed strands?   I will never forget the day I figured this out, I was lying by the pool reading my notes of the newest formulations and a cosmetic chemist reference manual together. It felt like a ton of bricks fell on my chest - it was that jarring to me.

sb10068920r-003

Well, they are made the exact same way, with the exact same water & oil Emulsion formulation. Mixing water + oil with an emulsifier and coming up with an Emulsion, no matter whether it has a Label plastered on the bottle that says it is HAIR CONDITIONER  or  BODY LOTION  - - - -  IT’S THE EXACT SAME THING!

Of course there are modifications made to make one thinner and one thicker but that is only a matter of adjusting the water to oil ratio, and does nothing to the fact that the way they are made is exactly the same and Lotion is not how your hair will flourish. So, besides the fact that Sulfate based Shampoos are causing hair-loss and thinning. Crappie emulsions the huge manufacturers make are clogging up the pores in your scalp which is restricting "new" hair growth. HHHHHHelp.

Please think about this, please give this method a try . . . see what your hair feels like without that goopy daily Conditioner on your hair, it has to do with shampoo manufacturers cycle they want you on. Apply their sulfate Shampoos that can scrub the grease off of Garage floors, then apply their Lotion-like Daily Conditioners, which then require their sulfate shampoo’s to get the Goop out again, I mean what living nightmare. None of these steps are good for your hair’s health or shine and on the opposite side they really promote hair loss, which I would say most of you don’t want.
